ArtHertz is an art organisation that specialises in events utilising unconventional spaces involving large-scale projection, contemporary art, electronic music, short film and collaborations with DJs and VJs.

Set up by Dennis Da Silva in 2006, ArtHertz has primarily worked with electronic music pioneer John Foxx. Past projects include events at Fulham Palace, ICA, Apple Store, Durham Castle and recently a group show at the Horse Hospital, which included work by Nick Rhodes, Alex Proyas (Director I Robot, Knowing), Gary Numan, Ian Emes (Creator of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon animation ), Macoto Tezka and Jonathan Barnbrook in a week long show as part of the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival.

ArtHertz will be presenting a snapshot preview of Electricity and Ghosts at Kinetica 2010 – a new major project scheduled for June 2010 in the Boilerhouse at the iconic Battersea Power Station. The group ‘storytelling’ event will include work by The Orb, Ian Emes, Spacedog and John Foxx involving a live ‘séance’, sonic art, installation, projection and music specially commissioned for the project.
